Ashley turned heads long before she graced the pages of Penthouse. "It's not so much my looks, I think, as my personality. If you met me and followed astrology, you'd automatically know I'm an Aquarius," says our December damsel. "People always say you can pick out the Aquarians from the crowd. We're very artistic and creative, and have strong personalities. We're an odd group, but in a good way. I've always been able to see things differently from my friends-whether it was on school projects or problem solving. My imagination just runs to places not everyone thinks of. I remember once being on vacation in Las Vegas and walking down the Strip. I decided that I was going to approach women walking toward me and kiss them, just to see their reaction. Some were shocked, but you'd be surprised how many women were into it and had me in a passionate lip-lock before moving on!"

"I love being in and around water," this California girl tells us. "In fact, the greatest sex I ever had was in my bathroom shower with my boyfriend. We set up a black light, put on some wild music, and spent three hours on foreplay. The ambience was so electric and the foreplay so amazing, we didn't even care about getting to the main event!"

"Ashley is a really beautiful woman," says photographer Hank Londoner. "It was an eye-opening experience watching her transform herself with each costume change." Adds Ashley, I loved the shots we did in the Western outfits. Getting to wear great clothing is one of the reasons I love modeling. Who wouldn't want to be a beauty queen for the day and get paid for it?"

Our 34-25-35 lovely makes it very clear what she wants in a man. "I usually prefer big strong guys, but what's more important is someone who's honest and devoted to my needs."

"I like the intimacy of kissing," says Ashley. "Nice, slow, open-mouth kisses always get me going. And when that mouth wanders to other parts of my body, that's even better."

When it comes to relationships, Ashley is just as clear about what she doesn't want as what she does. "One surefire way to turn me off is by using vulgar words during sex," she reveals. "Talking dirty is fine with me; so is being a little naughty. But if you use vulgarity and try to humiliate or degrade me, you've crossed the line."

"I'm not a party girl and don't think I'm all that cool," reports our Pet. "In my spare time, I like to sit at my computer and surf the Web. I also like to travel. I just came back from a fabulous trip through Canada. I took a four-day train ride from Toronto to Vancouver. It was great not having to pack and unpack before getting to each destination. Every day we woke up in the same sleeper car but saw something wonderful and new." Anyone waking up with you, Ashley, would always have a spectacular view.
